Puyi,
the
Last
Emperor
of
China Puyi,
also
known
as
Henry
Pu
Yi,
was
the
last
emperor
of
China
and
the
twelfth
and
final
ruler
of
the
Qing
dynasty.
Born
in
1906,
Puyi
ascended
to
the
throne
at
the
tender
age
of
two,
making
him
the
youngest
emperor
in
Chinese
history. During
his
reign,
Puyi
had
very
little
political
power,
as
he
was
merely
a
figurehead
controlled
by
various
regents
and
advisers.
However,
he
did
live
a
luxurious
life
in
the
Forbidden
City,
surrounded
by
countless
servants
and
concubines. In
1912,
the
Qing
dynasty
was
overthrown
by
the
Republican
revolution,
and
Puyi
was
forced
to
abdicate
the
throne.
He
then
lived
a
tumultuous
life,

their
occupation
of
Manchuria,
then
a
war
criminal
during
World
War
II,
and
finally
a
common
citizen
under
the
new
communist
government. Despite
these
hardships,
Puyi
was
able
to
find
some
happiness
later
in
life.
He
married
and
had
children,
published
his
memoirs,
and
even
acted
in
a
few
films.
He
died
in
1967
at
the
age
of
61. Although
his
reign
was
brief
and
his
political
power
limited,
Puyi
remains
an
important
figure
in
Chinese
history.
His
story
is
a
reminder
of
the
beauty
and
tragedy
of
China's
imperial
past
and
the
immense
changes
the
country
has
undergone
in
the
last
century.
